Hip, Leg and Heart

I'm 17 and I am having hip pain. If I stand for longer then 10 minutes I start to get pains in one or both of my hips. Its like a neddle pain. It also happens when i lay on one side of my body for to long. I am now having leg pains in my right leg. It starts at my mid-thigh, and travels all the way down to my foot. It happens out of no where and get worse if I stand to long even if its on the other leg, but that bad cause then my hip starts to hurt. I took some advil for it and it went away. But advil makes me feel sick. Now my heart is starting to hurt like its pushing to move. And thats kinda making me sick. If I'm over reacting or if its a normal teen kinda of thing. Please tell me

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
There is a pinched nerve somewhere. It could be at the hip joint due to arthritis or necrosis of head of femur or due to any other problem or it could be at lower spine level. An X-ray of the hip joint should be done. If need be A MRI will be required. Consult an orthopedic specialist.
If the hip joint is normal, then it could be pinched nerve at lumbo-sacral region. This is commonly called sciatica. This can happen due to overuse of the lower back as in work requiring too much of bending, lifting weight, fall on the back, overweight, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. Poor posture while sleeping, sitting on computers or jobs for a long time, uneven bed, exposure of back to cold air while sleeping can cause a discomfort for a few days. Please consult a neurologist. A MRI of the spine is definitely required. Take a multivitamin, plenty of fluids, and an OTC analgesic. Apply a local analgesic and sleep with a hot water bottle and see if it helps.
Since you feel palpitations, either it is effect of drug or rheumatic heart disease should be ruled out. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Thanks to everyone. I'm getting a physical soon. My dad thinks I have arthritis. But I'm just going to go to my doctor and get everything checked out.

Its neither overreacting or a teen thing. The tiredness of the heart: maybe. Though, the hip could be spinal damage. Have youe seen a doctor upon this?
